Black, Brown & White

[00:07.75] This little song that I'm singin' about
[00:11.49] People, you know it's true
[00:14.94] If you're black and gotta work for a living
[00:19.20] This is what they'll say to you
[00:22.37] If you's white, is alright
[00:26.08] If you's brown, stick around
[00:29.78] But as you's black, whoa, brother
[00:34.00] Get back, get back, get back
[00:41.13] I was in a place one night
[00:44.27] They was all having fun
[00:48.16] They was all buyin' beer and wine
[00:51.66] But they would not sell me none
[00:55.51] If you's white, is alright
[00:59.14] If you's brown, stick around
[01:03.02] As you's black, whoa, brother
[01:07.67] Get back, get back, get back
[01:13.71] Me and a man was workin' side by side
[01:17.85] And this is what it meant
[01:21.79] They was paying him a dollar an hour
[01:24.93] And paying me 50 cents (what?)
[01:28.19] If you's white, is alright
[01:32.15] If you's brown, stick around
[01:35.86] As you's black, whoa, brother
[01:40.11] Get back, get back, get back
[01:44.17]
[02:01.48] I went to an unemployment office
[02:05.17] Got a number, got in line
[02:09.29] They called everybody's number
[02:13.01] But they never did call mine
[02:16.41] If you's white, is alright
[02:20.52] If you's brown, stick around
[02:24.40] But as you's black, whoa, brother
[02:28.56] Get back, get back, get back
[02:35.52] I helped win sweet victory
[02:39.03] With my plow and hoe (sure now)
[02:42.35] Now I want you to tell me brother (tell him)
[02:45.70] What you gonna do about the new Jim Crow?
[02:49.41] If you's white, you's alright
[02:53.64] If you's brown, stick around
[02:57.30] But as you's black, whoa, brother
[03:01.64] Get back, get back, get back
[03:05.52] Get back, get back, get back
[03:08.97] Get back, get back, get back
[03:12.51]
